The CC-177 Globemaster III transports troops, cargo and oversized combat equipment from coast to coast and around the world. Its ability to fly long distances and land in remote airfields makes it a premier transporter for military, humanitarian and peacekeeping missions.
The CC-177 Globemaster III is used for a wide range of missions and only requires a crew of three: pilot, co-pilot and loadmaster. It can also take off and land on unpaved runways as short as 1,067 metres and as narrow as 27.4 metres by day or by night.
